Con Air Trailers

Newly-paroled former US Army ranger Cameron Poe is headed back to his wife, but must fly home aboard a prison transport flight dubbed "Jailbird" taking the “worst of the worst” prisoners, a group described as “pure predators”, to a new super-prison. Poe faces impossible odds when the transport plane is skyjacked mid-flight by the most vicious criminals in the country led by the mastermind — genius serial killer Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, and backed by black militant Diamond Dog and psychopath Billy Bedlam.

Reviews
Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
christianreynolds-86078 Con- Air is a decent big budget film starring everyone from Nicholas Cage to John Malkovich and John Cusack. The synopsis is basic: A ranger tows aboard a transport plane full of convicts led by John Malkovich. They soon take over the plane and all hell ensues. This was a decent film and Malkovich is really good playing against type but seeing this film now where 100 million dollar pyrotechnique are common in every other film Con Air lacks the punch.
taf130 First part of the movie was actually great until they ruined it with some hero moments in the last part. Would have been much better without the final chasing action. After crashing the plane into the city and saving friends life Cage still finds the will to go and chase down the bad guy. No way..
Advan Kosaric Pretty horrible movie, but you can't beat Simon Pegg's explanation: "Con Air, right? It's got everything, hasn't it? You know, you've got Malkovich for your acting chops, you got Nicky Cage for your action, Steve Buscemi for your comedy, John Cusack for the gays. Right? It's like a smorgasbord, isn't it?". So, watch it, it's better than Avatar.
merem1 A really good 1990's action film. One of my favourite Nicolas Cage films. It is like Die Hard on a plane. The characters are characters you care about and develop feelings for. The action sequences are superb. The one-liners the characters say in the movie are awesome and memorable.
